[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8441444, member: 614752"] [quote name='adulbrich'][USER=614752]@hispls[/USER]; You were right about the gap! Even got it today and tore it apart. Not only were the inner/outer diameters weird, but the coils were way too short I paid $440 for half-assed recones from Tantric. Anything I could do about it? Skip all the "I told you so's" If there's a way I can get money back, I'm all ears. I'm about to make a new thread on CACO and hopefully post specs[/QUOTE] Well, if the guy was in any position to make good he'd have just refunded you cash or given you the right parts to begin with It's doubtful anything beyond the dustcap is salvageable.
